Mashed Potato Skordalia

This mashed potato skordalia is a deliciously creamy take on the traditional Greek garlic dip, offering a velvety texture that is perfect for sharing. By using room-temperature mashed potatoes as a base, the dip becomes smooth and satisfying, while the addition of toasted walnuts provides a nutty depth and a pleasant crunch. It is an excellent choice for a vegan-friendly appetiser or a part of a larger mezze spread.

Refreshing lemon zest and juice balance the heat of the fresh garlic, making this a vibrant and savoury addition to any table. Serve this homemade dip with crunchy pita crisps or fresh cucumber spears for a healthy, light snack that fits perfectly into a plant-based diet. It is a quick and effortless way to elevate leftover mashed potatoes into something truly special.
